250.18 Special limitations—Long Island Lighting Company, Units 4 and 5 of the Glenwood facility and Units 1 and 2 of the E.F. Barrett facility.
It is ordered pursuant to section 225.2(c) of this Title that a special limitation for Units 4 and 5 of the Glenwood generating facility and for Units 1 and 2 of the E.F. Barrett generating facility is granted, to the extent that Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) is authorized to purchase and use residual oil of up to a maximum of 1.0 percent sulfur content by weight in each unit at Glenwood and 2.2 percent sulfur in each unit at E.F. Barrett and that such residual oils may be sold to LILCO for use in each such unit. The limitation is conditioned on:
(1) LILCO's providing and operating a department approved continuous monitoring network;
(2) that each special limitation shall take effect on approval of the terms thereof by the United States Environmental Protection Agency;
(3) that, as approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency each special limitation shall continue in effect for a period of three years from the day of such approval;
(4) that the department expressly reserves the right to modify or revoke each special limitation on reasonable notice if the department determines such action is necessary to protect the public interest, including but not limited to a determination that the special limitation fails adequately to protect the public health and welfare from sulfates, a determination that operation of either Glenwood or E.F. Barrett at such higher sulfur content oil as authorized herein contributes to the contravention of any applicable ambient air quality standard, a determination that the special limitation precludes the operation of another source in the areas of impacts of either Glenwood or E.F. Barrett Stations, or a determination that such operation would significantly degrade air quality; and
(5) that the department reserves the right to audit and require modification of the continuous monitoring network at any time provided adequate time is allowed for any modification required;
(6) that LILCO shall submit semiannual reports, which summarize sulfur dioxide concentrations, as measured by its monitoring network for averaging times corresponding to Federal and State ambient air quality standards. The first semiannual report shall be submitted eight months after the limitation is approved by EPA and shall include data for the first six months of the limitation. The second semiannual report shall be submitted six months after the first report and shall include data for months 7 through 12 of the approved limitation. This frequency of semiannual reporting shall continue for the duration of the limitation;
(7) that LILCO shall submit two copies of all reports, required by this order, to the following individuals:
(i) the department's Region I Air Pollution Control Engineer;
(ii) the Nassau County Department of Health's Director of Bureau of Air Quality Management; and
(iii) the department's Division of Air Resources, Chief, Source Review Section;
(8) that LILCO shall revise the reporting format and reporting dates upon notification by the department; and
(9) that the special limitations granted herein shall not relieve LILCO from operating the subject facilities in such manner as to conform to the terms and conditions of the Certificates to Operate issued therefor; nor shall the special limitations issued herein otherwise relieve LILCO from any responsibilities for compliance with any applicable laws, regulations or requirements.
